Kashmiri Lacquer Table Cabinet |
|
| Description |
|
The cabinet of wood painted and varnished with gold decoration on a black ground with designs of interlacing leafy vines of roundels and cartouches, the sides and top and back are all decorated in the same manner. To the top a central roundel bears the crest and motto, spes tutissima coelis, being that of the King family from Boyle Abbey, Co. Roscommon, Eire. The cabinet doors open to an interior decorated with the paisley design, as found on shawls and which were influenced by designs from Persia. The drawers to the interior are all fitted with partitions, painted a matt blue, and were probably intended to display gemstones.
A table with similar decoration and with an English coat of arms, which is now in the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, USA and dated to 1883-86, is illusterated in Amin JaffirÕs book, Furniture from British India and Ceylon, page 300 Inventory No.119. A similar table also with a motto and crest was acquired by Frederic Church in 1880 for his house at Olana, Hudson, USA. |
